"I go to car shows because American Graffiti is the national anthem of car shows. Graffiti got people out draggin’ and going up, and down streets cruisin’. It got people into cars doing that kind of stuff again. If I told you how many times people have come up to Candy [Clark], Paul [Le Mat] and me at these shows and told us that we’ve changed their lives, you wouldn’t believe it." da un'intevista del 2012 per Shock Cinema.
